COMMERCIAL  FERTILIZERS, 

By  JOHN  S.  BUBD. 


The  State  provides  every  facility  for  protecting  the  fertilizer  con- 
sumer. Manufacturers  and  dealers  residing  in  the  State  are  compelled 
to  furnish  guaranties  showing  the  actual  composition  of  all  goods  sold. 
Any  consumer  may  verify  such  a  guaranty  by  having  an  analysis  made 
in  return  for  a  nominal  fee.  Further  than  this,  large  numbers  of  free 
analyses  are  made,  of  so-called  "purchaser's  samples,"  for  the  infor- 
mation of  the  public  and  in  order  to  determine  the  character  of  the 
goods  actually  being  delivered  to  fertilizer  consumers.  This  class  of 
analyses  is  not  prescribed  by  law.  There  is  even  some  doubt  as  to 
whether  it  is  permitted  by  the  terms  of  the  Fertilizer  Act.  Those  in 
charge  of  the  administration  of  the  Act  believe,  however,  that  such  a 
service  is  justifiable  in  all  cases  where  the  State  has  jurisdiction  over 
the  seller ;  inasmuch  as  the  information  so  obtained  is  used  to  raise  the 
standard  of  the  fertilizers  being  sold. 

The  provisions  of  the  Fertilizer  Act  cannot,  however,  be  construed 
to  cover  sales  of  fertilizers  made  by  non-residents  directly  to  consumers 
within  the  State.  Such  sales  are  usually  made  by  brokers  who  draw 
their  materials  from  the  most  diverse  and  distant  sources.  Proper  tag- 
ging of  the  goods  sold  is  in  many  cases  out  of  the  question.  It  is  diffi- 
cult to  see  how  the  mere  publication  of  the  analyses  of  such  unreg- 
istered and  frequently  untagged  goods  can  be  of  any  value  to  the 
fertilizer  consumers  of  California.  The  only  one  to  profit  by  such  an 
analysis  is  the  particular  consumer  who  has  received  the  service  and 
its  value  to  him  is  merely  the  cost  of  an  analysis  by  a  commercial 
chemist. 

It  may  very  pertinently  be  pointed  out  that  the  Fertilizer  Control 
is  supported  by  the  taxes  levied  on  registered  manufacturers  and  deal- 
ers. These,  of  course,  ultimately  come  from  the  purchasers  of  regis- 
tered fertilizers.  The  purchaser  of  unregistered  fertilizers  pays  neither 
directly  nor  indirectly  one  cent  towards  the  support  of  this  service. 
He  therefore  has  no  rights,  to  be  considered,  when  his  immediate  per- 
sonal interests  conflict  with  those  of  purchasers  of  registered  goods. 


296  UNIVERSITY  OF  CALIFORNIA EXPERIMENT  STATION. 

By  making  analyses  of  imported,  unregistered  fertilizers,  the  Fertilizer 
Control  is  encouraging  a  practice  which  is  inimical  to  the  best  interests 
of  the  fertilizer  consuming  public.  On  this  ground  and  because  of  its 
unfairness  to  registered  manufacturers  and  dealers,  analyses  of  unreg- 
istered fertilizers  sold  by  parties  over  whom  the  State  of  California 
has  no  jurisdiction  have  heretofore  been  refused  by  the  Fertilizer 
Control. 

The  whole  matter  of  the  importation  of  unregistered  goods  is 
worthy  of  the  earnest  consideration  of  all  fertilizer  consumers.  It  is 
believed  that  the  tendency  of  such  importations  is  to  break  down  the 
necessary  restrictions  insuring  high  standards  in  the  quality  of  fer- 
tilizers. To  properly  appreciate  this  it  should  be  understood  that  this 
Department  depends  for  results,  not  so  much  upon  its  limited  and  inad- 
equate powers  of  prosecution,  as  upon  the  publication  of  the  compar- 
ative analyses  and  guaranties.  If  large  quantities  of  unregistered  fer- 
tilizers continue  to  be  imported  directly  by  consumers,  it  may  soon 
prove  difficult  to  convince  local  manufacturers  of  the  value  of  a  good 
showing  for  their  various  brands. 

The  f  ramers  of  the  Fertilizer  Control  Act  supposed  that  the  inspec- 
tion of  fertilizers  found  in  the  warehouses  of  manufacturers  and  deal- 
ers, by  establishing  the  character  of  the  various  brands  under  which 
fertilizers  are  sold,  would  be  sufficient  protection  for  fertilizer  pur- 
chasers. This  is  the  method  followed  in  many  states,  but  it  does  not 
take  into  consideration  some  of  the  present  methods  of  purchase  of 
fertilizers'  in  California.  Here  a  large  and  constantly  increasing  class 
of  fertilizer  consumers  is  buying  strictly  upon  the  unit  plan,  usually 
upon  the  basis  of  the  analysis  furnished  by  this  Department.  For 
their  protection  it  is  doubtful  if  any  system  of  tagging  is  either  neces- 
sary or  desirable.  They  are  amply  protected  by  their  contracts  with 
the  manufacturer  and  pay  for  exactly  what  they  get.  On  the  other 
hand,  the  consumer  who  buys  on  the  reputation  of  a  brand,  still  exists 
and  will  doubtless  continue  to  exist  for  a  long  time  to  come.  For  his 
protection  proper  registration  and  tagging  is  absolutely  essential. 

FRUIT  ASSOCIATIONS  AS  FERTILIZER  DEALERS. 

Members  of  the  various  citrus  fruit  associations  have  doubtless 
been  among  the  greatest  beneficiaries  of  the  Fertilizer  Control  Act. 
Probably  the  passage  of  the  Act  was  largely  due  to  their  efforts.  At 
any  rate  they  have,  properly  enough,  not  been  slow  to  take  advantage 
of  its  privileges.  The  increase  in  the  consumption  of  fertilizers  has 
resulted  in  many  of  the  associations  going  into  the  business  of  selling 


Bulletin  202.  COMMERCIAL  FERTILIZERS.  297 

such  materials.  Some  of  these  associations  have  taken  the  ground  that 
in  buying  for  their  members  only  they  are  exempt  from  the  restrictions 
applying  to  dealers,  and  have  accordingly  imported  unregistered  fer- 
tilizers for  distribution.  It  may  be  definitely  stated  that  this  conten- 
tion has  no  legal  foundation,  and  that  members  procuring  fertilizers 
from  their  associations  are  entitled  to  the  same  protection  they  would 
have  in  buying  from  other  dealers.  Associations  handling  unregis- 
tered fertilizers  are  consequently  subject  to  the  penalties  prescribed 
for  violations  of  the  Fertilizer  Act. 

BREAD  OUT   OF  STONE. 

A  Warning  to  Fertilizer  Purchasers. 

During  the  past  year  a  number  of  attempts  have  been  made  to 
induce  farmers  of  certain  sections  of  the  State  to  purchase  fine  ground 
rock  and  sand  as  fertilizers.  In  some  cases  these  attempts  have  been 
successful  and  innocent  purchasers  have  been  defrauded  to  the  extent 
of  their  outlay. 

As  an  aid  to  their  operations,  the  exploiters  of  this  fake  have 
issued  anonymous  circulars  entitled,  "What  Will  Fertilizing  With 
Stone  Dust  Accomplish,"  "Will  Fertilizing  With  Stone  Meal  Pay?" 
If  by  "Stone  Meal"  and  "Stone  Dust"  they  mean  the  worthless 
materials  they  have  been  selling  and  of  which  this  Department  has 
made  analyses,  we  cheerfully  answer  these  questions.  Fertilizing  with 
"Stone  Dust"  will  accomplish  nothing.  Fertilizing  with  "Stone 
Meal ' '  certainly  will  not  pay ! 

In  view  of  the  above  facts  all  fertilizer  consumers  are  warned 
against  the  purchase  of  such  materials. 

REGISTERED   MANUFACTURERS  AND  DEALERS. 

The  following  manufacturers  and  dealers  in  commercial  fertilizers 
have  obtained  certificates  of  registration  under  the  provisions  of  the 
California  Fertilizer  law,  for  the  fiscal  year  beginning  July  1,  1908.  A 
list  is  also  given  of  the  brands  of  fertilizers  and  fertilizer  materials 
offered  by  them  for  sale.  According  to  the  sworn  returns  of  dealers 
registered  for  the  fiscal  year  ending  June  30,  1908,  their  entire  sales 
in  the  State  amounted  to  31,228  tons. 

No  dealer  or  manufacturer,  except  those  who  have  certificates  of 
registration  from  the  University  of  California,  and  their  authorized 
agents,  can  legally  sell  fertilizers  in  this  State.  No  person  or  com- 
pany has  any  right  to  use  any  registration  number  except  in  connec- 
tion with  the  firm  name  to  which  the  registration  certificate  of  such 


298

number  has  been  issued;  and  no  person  or  company  to  whom  a  regis- 
tration number  has  been  assigned  has  any  right  to  give  any  other 
person  or  company  permission  to  use  said  registration  number,  and 
any  number  so  used  is  a  fraud.  No  agent  has  any  right  to  use  his 
principal's  registration  number  in  connection  with  his  own  name.

SCOPE  OF  INSPECTION. 

The  present  report  contains  the  tabulated  analyses  of  fertilizers 
collected  for  the  half-year  ending  December  31,  1908.  During  this 
period  289  samples  of  fertilizers  and  fertilizing  materials  have  been 
received  at  the  laboratory.  Of  this  number  11  were  sent  by  farmers 
under  the  two-dollar  fee  provision,  126  were  taken  by  inspectors 
from  purchasers'  goods  upon  the  request  of  the  purchasers,  and  134 
were  taken  by  inspectors  from  goods  in  the  hands  of  agents  and  manu- 
facturers. On  24  samples  the  analysis  as  reported  was  used  as  a  basis 
of  settlement  by  mutual  agreement  of  buyer  and  seller.  No  guaranty 
was  required  or  given  with  goods  sold  under  such  an  agreement. 
Eighteen  samples  of  a  miscellaneous  nature,  which  do  not  come  within 
the  legal  definition  of  a  commercial  fertilizer,  are  omitted  from  the 
tables. 

The  following  classification  may  be  made  of  samples  reported  in 
this  bulletin : 

Complete  fertilizers  130 

Bone  Meal  30 

Tankage    57 

Superphosphate    16 

Dried   Blood   13 

Nitrate    of    Soda 17 

Sulfate  of  Potash  5 

Bat  guano   2 

Bird  guano  phosphate  1 

Total    271 

DEFICIENCIES. 

In  the  analyses  of  the  above  samples,  the  following  number  of  defi- 
ciencies greater  than  allowed  by  law  occur : 

Available  phosphoric  acid  (total  when  available  is  not  guaranteed)— -29 

Total   nitrogen   34 

Potash 10 

In   valuation  19 

These  deficiencies  were  found  in  66  samples. 

The  fertilizer  law  allows  a  deficiency  of  0.25  per  cent  in  nitrogen, 
0.50  per  cent  in  potash,  and  1.00  per  cent  in  available  phosphoric  acid. 

FERTILIZER  VALUATIONS. 

The  calculations  of  the  commercial  values  of  the  fertilizers  here 
reported  are  made  on  the  so-called  unit  basis.     Such  calculations  con- 


304  UNIVERSITY  OF   CALIFORNIA EXPERIMENT  STATION. 

sist  simply  in  multiplying  the  number  of  per  cent  of  each  ingredient 
by  the  price  per  unit  and  adding  the  products.  The  sum  thus  obtained 
is  the  commercial  value  per  ton  at  the  prices  used.  If  it  is  desired  to 
use  such  a  calculation  for  determining  the  amount  which  should  be 
paid  for  goods,  or  the  rebate  to  which  the  buyer  is  entitled  owing  to 
the  goods  delivered  being  below  the  guaranty,  it  can  only  be  satisfac- 
torily done  if  a  definite  price  per  unit  has  been  agreed  upon  between 
buyer  and  seller.  But  for  the  mere  purpose  of  showing  the  relative 
values  of  goods  to  guaranties,  it  is  not  at  all  necessary  that  the  prices 
adopted  should  be  the  exact  market  prices.  Thus  it  is  that  the  Fer- 
tilizer Control  in  attempting  to  show  the  relation  between  values  found 
and  values  claimed,  uses  a  schedule  which  is  admittedly  only  an  ap- 
proximate average  of  market  values.  Owing  to  market  fluctuations, 
differences  in  cost  of  delivery  at  different  points,  and  other  causes,  the 
obtaining  of  true  average  market  prices  is  an  impossibility.  But  if  the 
reader  will  bear  in  mind  the  true  purpose  of  the  valuations  reported, 
these  will  have  served  their  turn  and  he  will  not  be  led  to  assume  that 
the  Experiment  Station  is  dictating  the  prices  at  which  goods  shall  be 
sold.

REPORT  OF  ANALYSES.* 

Available  phosphoric  acid  is  not  determined  in  bone  meal,  tankage, 
and  Thomas  phosphate  powder,  unless  requested.  The  fineness  of 
these  materials  is  determined,  fine  and  medium  bone  being  separated 
by  a  sieve  of  50  meshes  to  the  inch ;  tankage  by  a  25-mesh  sieve ;  and 
Thomas  phosphate  powder  by  a  100-mesh  sieve. 

Nitrogen  in  ammonia  salts  will,  in  some  cases,  be  found  reported 
when  nitrogen  in  this  form  is  not  guaranteed.  In  some  of  such  cases 
this  form  of  nitrogen  is  produced  by  conversion  of  organic  nitrogen 
during  process  of  manufacture,  and  is  not  to  be  considered  a  deviation 
from  guaranty  of  materials  used.  Guanos  carry  more  or  less  nitrogen 
in  nitrates  and  ammonia  salts,  and  when  any  appreciable  quantity  of 
guano  is  used  the  manufacturer  should  take  into  account  the  fact 
that  some  nitrogen  will  show  as  nitrates  and  ammonia  salts.  The 
failure  to  take  this  into  consideration  may  perhaps  account  for  the  ap- 
pearance of  these  forms  of  nitrogen  in  some  samples  in  which  only 
organic  nitrogen  was  guaranteed. 

The  percentage  of  chlorin  is  given  when  it  exceeds  0.50  per  cent. 
It  is  a  matter  of  only  technical  interest  whether  chlorin  present  is 
from  muriate  of  potash,  kainit,  or  from  common  salt  that  may  be  in 
some  of  the  materials  used.  If  a  manufacturer  uses  sulfate  of  potash 
and  uses  a  tankage  with  it  containing  a  large  amount  of  chlorin,  from 
a  practical  standpoint  he  has  lowered  the  grade  of  his  fertilizer  just 
as  much  as  if  he  had  used  muriate  of  potash  instead  of  sulfate  of 
potash.  Chlorin  from  all  other  sources  is  as  objectionable  as  from 
muriate  of  potash.  However,  if  muriate  of  potash  is  found  when 
sulfate  is  guaranteed,  the  fact  will  be  published. 

The  following  abbreviations  are  used  in  the  tables:  Bl=blood, 
Bn=bone,  Fs=fish,  G=guano,  Super=superphosphate,  T=tankage. 

Guaranties  are  entered  in  italics.  Deficiencies  greater  than  allowed 
by  law  are  entered  in  bold  type. 


*  The  statement  has  sometimes  been  made  that  the  work  of  the  Fertilizer 
Control  is  being  done  by  students.  Such  is  not  the  case.  All  analyses  are 
made  by  Messrs.  P.  L.  McCreary  and  P.  L.  Hibbard,  who  are  both  careful  and 
experienced  analysts.
